Anemone spot light

[Grelby]

Does anyone keep a spotlight on their nem after dt lights go out? Are there any pros or cons to doing this?

Why would you put a spot light on an anemone outside of regular tank day cycle?

I have no idea, that’s what I’m asking. I saw videos of people doing that.

Seemed to me like you're just encouraging the anemone to move. Can you put an image or video of this practice, I would like to see it.

TIA

I've seen and actually used a flashlight to spotlight a nem as lights ramp down in an effort to help clowns discover a new nem, maybe what you are seeing, but other than that I see no reason for it, and would prefer a normal light cycle.

Well unfortunately I can not find where I saw it at... if I find it I will post it.

I have a spot on the mag. Watch at 2:45


I now only run it for 7 hour and not during sunrise/sunset because the effect looks too artificial.

The mag has positioned itself so it faces the spot light.

That is an awesome tank. Do yo know of any benefits from running the 6500k?

Thanks. I read somewhere that they appreciate it and I thought it could be a way of persuading it to stay where I wanted.

I could try and place the spot on the opposite side of the tank, but I am afraid of messing with that anemone .
